My friends. I have been mentally tired this past week due to my work and have had criticism that my writings are not as effective as they have been in the past and I am writing to you today to apologize. This blog was started to give everyone messages from my heart through my life experiences and in so doing to possibly help others who may be experiencing some of the same things that I have experienced and still continue to experience.
Rollin Wells says it so eloquently: “A little more tired at close of day, A little less anxious to have our way; A little less ready to scold and blame, A little more care of a brother’s name; And so we are nearing our journey’s end, Where time and eternity meet and blend.”
Why do we have to reach this point in our lives where we are ready to give up on those things that are seemingly important? Is not our goal in life to be aware of our current situation and as my geek squad rep told me, “Let me make some adjustments. It won’t take long and I apologize for the wait.”
Are we making people wait while we make adjustments? Why?
What is there in us that triggers this thought? Do we recognize the symptoms and “Make adjustments” or, do we just keep going until adjustments have gone by the wayside and we have entered another realm whereby we quite possibly may not know what to do?
Job7:1-4…”Do not human beings have a hard service on earth, and are not their days like the days of a laborer? Like a slave who longs for the shadow, and like laborers who look for their wages, so I am allotted months of emptiness, and nights of misery are apportioned to me”
We have all felt this way at times and we perhaps may say, can’t I just go to bed and forget the cares of the day and when I awake, they will be gone?
Are we physically tired or spirtually tired? In our search for meaning, have we worked ourselves into such a frenzy that we have become like the bird of the air – we leave our bodies and look down upon the earth and its cares and in the coolness of the night air, we, if just for a moment, have attained a peace that we knew could be in our lives?
We then awaken and the light of day is upon us and the questions keep coming.
Psalm 77:…1-6…..I cry aloud to G__, aloud to G__, that he may hear me. In the day of my trouble I seek the Lord: in the night my hand is stretched out without wearying; my soul refuses to be comforted. I think of G__, and I moan; I meditate, and my spirit faints. You keep my eyelids from closing; I am so troubled that I cannot speak. I consider the days of old, and remember the years of long ago. I commune with my heart in the night; I meditate and search my spirit.
My friends, we all search our spirit from time to time and it is through this search that we become refreshed and light filled once again. Our tiredness has left us and we once again face the challenges of a new day. Isn’t that the greatness of being alive and helping others who too are experiencing what we have just experienced.
In your quest, remember to SMELL THE ROSES along the way, smile and say I love you.
Is your day becoming new once again?
Now, that is a discussion for another day.
Blessings .
